The Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care with Lamb Dry Dog Food is clinically proven nutrition that can help transform your pet’s life. As pets age, damage to the kidney tissues may occur, which affects the kidney’s role to function properly and filter toxins and waste from the blood. It is irreversible, and will lead to further loss of kidney function. This may also decrease their appetite, which could eventually result in the loss of muscle mass. And so the Hill’s nutritionists and veterinarians created this special diet, which supports your dog’s kidney function and helps to sustain muscle mass—in fact, the nutrition of k/d is clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.
Key Benefits- Protects vital kidney and heart function and supports the natural ability to build lean muscle daily.
- Enhanced Appetite Trigger (E.A.T.) technology helps increase the appetite and food intake.
- Made with controlled phosphorus and low sodium, plus therapeutic levels of l-carnitine and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Also includes high levels of essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein.
- Made in USA and clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.

Happy girl!
By Missy on Apr 27, 2020
My girl has improved 100 percent over this last year improving her quality of life. Went from thoughts of losing her to happy girl. While we still deal with kidney issues, she is most definitely not suffering, nor are we! I highly recommend Hill's and I also recommend chewy! A+

Excellent product
By AnneD on Apr 4, 2020
my 15 yr old jack russel terrier, Tinkerbell, was diagnosed with chronic renal failure and had slowed down considerably. After 1 month on this prescription diet and she's back to running around the house and jumping like a puppy again!! She will be 16 yrs old on the 27th of this month and I know I will have her for some time to come!!

needs more size varieties
By shilo on Jan 14, 2020
my dog eats it but it takes him a long time to finish it, so i dont think he really enjoys it. i wish these came in smaller bags because i do like to mix it with the wet food to increase his calorie intake, but hate to spend so much on it when we are low income. if i could get a 4 lb bag for $20 i would be so happy. also wish they made the treats smaller too. i have to cut each treat into 5 or 6 pieces for my little shih tzu and they are very hard to cut with a knife

Great food for older dogs,
By BUGGIE on Feb 24, 2020
Unlike most kidney care dog foods, this one seems to pass the taste test for our dog Bitsy, she wolfs it right down. It has also led to improved or stable readings on tests for kidney function.

Chewy is the best!
By rotroha on Dec 10, 2019
Your company is awesome. I accidentally ordered the wrong flavor (all of the bags look alike) and tried to make the correction literally within a couple of minutes, but you processed the order so quickly that it had already gone to the warehouse and couldn't be changed. Nevertheless, my dog likes this flavor (it's me who can't stand the taste of lamb). If she didn't like it and I had to return it, I knew that Chewy would have made it easy for me to do because their customer service has always been so wonderful in the past.

Love my new food
By Bradley on Nov 23, 2019
It’s me again. I’m Bradley and 12 year old cocker spaniel with allergies and some kidney problems. I was eating chicken based special diet, I’m allergic to chicken and I was scratching all the time. My human mom ordered me Hill’s Prescription diet with lamb, of course with my vet’s ok. I am a happy dog and I don’t scratch any longer.

Mickey likes it!!
By Sophie on Nov 21, 2019
We adopted Mickey September of this year. He is a twelve-year-old breeder release from a Texas puppy mill, so you know he was in terrible terrible shape. My heart broke when I found out he has less than 40% kidney function. Our vet put him on this food and he likes it a lot. No bad reactions, just happily snarfing it down.

As Described
By TongueFu on Dec 29, 2019
Serves its purpose for dogs with Kidney problems. Not a solution, but a helpful aid. As with any product, one of my seniors with kidney problems likes it, one doesn't.

Does the job
By NiasMom on Oct 15, 2019
My dog must be on a low-protein diet because of renal disease. She likes the dry kibble and eats it willingly. The reason for the lower rating is the inclusion of corn in the recipe. She is a pug, which means she is prone to food allergies. Corn is one of the biggest triggers for skin problems, so I am monitoring her for any outbreaks. I wish Hill's would reformulate this food to eliminate this unnecessary filler.
